Expert Yogi Posts: 8442      | Hi Ian - my brother's name is Ian  I find twists are nice for releasing tension and helping with headaches. Also, all the poses where your arms are interlaced, like garudasana (eagle) and gomukhasana (cow's head pose) are helpful. You can do the twists even sitting in a chair, as well as the arms of the other poses - great if you are in school or in a job where you sit a lot. Hope that helps, headaches are dreadful | ||

Expert Yogi Posts: 8442 | Washington is the Canada of Oregon  I am just above NE in British Columbia, Canada. Yes, I should have qualified all of that. Twists are especially good in the beginning stages of a tension headache. They can loosen up a tight neck and shoulders and help head it off at the pass. Anything done while you have a headache (especially a real migraine) must be done with extreme caution Forward bends are a pretty safe bet. I like to use the seat of a chair to rest my head and if it is a nice, cool metal chair, so much the better. But for some, that is excrutiating and a soft head rest is more appropriate. For someone who is just starting yoga and also new to having headaches, it will be a bit of trial and error and a good teacher will be a big help. Do look into other causes of headaches - too much caffeine or trying to quit caffeine can be problems, too much sugar can give really awful rebound headaches. Not enough sleep, too much sleep....it is endless and a whole other forum would be required. Good luck and I hope yours are just small headaches that go away soon | ||
